About Scripps Drug and Alcohol – Treatment Center
Scripps Drug and Alcohol Treatment Center works with The Betty Ford Center to provide addiction treatment to men and women in San Diego, California. Together they provide intensive outpatient and outpatient mental health and drug rehab programming.
Intensive Outpatient
This program meets more frequently than traditional outpatient treatment programs. Psychological and social assessments begin the program. Individuals may then participate in individual therapy, family therapy, and group therapy designed to help them learn new tools for coping with life stressors, addiction, and mental health issues. Family involvement is encouraged and family may seek support through family support groups, education, and more.
Outpatient
The outpatient program begins with an assessment. Mental health and co-occurring disorders are diagnosed and treated throughout the program. Individuals partake in therapy, group therapy, family therapy, and psycho-educational classes that touch upon topics related to mental health, addiction, and recovery. They also provide a virtual outpatient option for those who are unable to attend in person. Family involvement is encouraged and family may seek support through family support groups, education, and more.

Accepted Insurance
Other Forms of Payment
Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.
Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.
Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.
Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.
Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
Treatments
The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.
Drug rehab in California teaches participants constructive ways to stay clean and sober. Treatment revolves around helping individuals stop using the substance they are addicted to and learn healthy habits to avoid relapse.
Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.
Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.
